A GUILELESS ROGUE, i: .' i.n v ni.AKi:. I was traveling third das« from Rosen m im to Munich; ihe only one of‘my ci nnpaiiuns in the coupe who in the least interested me was an old man, wiry and hair vigorous-looking, that lay in spite of the white over the collar of liis coat, and the testimony of seventy years at least written on his furrowed forehead. His dress, that of a well-to-do Bavarian pea-ant, first attracted my attention; Kneebrecches, shiny and smooth from long wear, and with delicate tracery iu ■ «»loied silk need!, work at the seams; a untupuitcd leather-fronted waistcoat; with scollop a blue shells coat of cut, orna menting it instead of buttons; and what most struck my eye. trained to note and copy such details in my pictures, was a leather belt about six inches wide, coven d thickly with the most skillful embroideiv, low also in colored silks of mel and beautiful tints. The device was smothered very grotesque; in flowers harpy-Iike which could creatures have gtown The belt only in some dreamland garden, shut with uu antique silver clasp, n serpent catching its own tail in its fangs, and was evidently an heirloom in the family. rather Conversationally, dull, I found the old man he rambled even lacking, along it would disjointed ap pear, as a narrative in which the name Erika curretl at intervals. He frequently ca reused his belt just below where his din ner “Erika lay, mumbling half to himself: will be the happier for that—yes, far happier. She little guises what is in ,t -” T I was in . doubt as to hat theold fel w low alluded to; evidently some mysteri ous ucd booty in bis lx It, but as he contin : “It was not wear and tear that broke tin--.t.tckcs 1 usk>d Erika to mend —slu; had no suspicion of what she was sewing be the up safe inside,” i decided it must belt. made Certainly Erika, whoever she was, a great mistake in letting this weak-minded old man come alone to a busy, crowded city like Munich. arrival My reflections were cut short by our tering at the huge station, where achat party of friends took me into cus tody at once. 1 saw the old peasant walk briskly away with the rest of the stream, armed with a stout stick, and I time straightway being. forgot Ins existence lor the * * * * UM Mhcn a not unattractive . and still young widow invites a man to go to the cemetery husband's with her lo contemplate her late grave, he is apt to be unpre pared w ith a suitable reply, lo say briskly he accepts w ith pleasure, sounds heartless and unfeeling, while a dismal deportment and speech befitting the oe casion may be construed into a reluc tancc Into at going. such embarrassment my landlady, Frau Molihuupt, plunged me soon after mv installation at the “Pension Mai feld.” While I assisted her to hang wreaths of tin pansies, and numerous tmknowu flowers done in black-an 1-white beads, round the tailing which held down the defunct Mollhaupt, it struck me that the sorrowing solation relict was prepared to find com for her lo-s in unworthy me. The tearful sentimental tenor of hereon versation causing me great uneasiness, both? I pro,vised, as divert*ion for us a stroll toward the rows of tall windows behind which, according to Munich law, the dead are expose*! for two duys-the coffin-lids lifted so that all the livim* ** world may see. There lay the silent testimony of that day’s sad mortality; the rich surrounded oy a pomp of burning tapers, velvet drapery Huddened and fragrant banks ot flowers. awav,* by this spectacle, I was turning plainest when I saw lyiug iu the of pauper coffins an old .nan whose fare was very familiar. Amo ment’s reflection recalled the peasant in the blue coat, my traveling companion from Rosenheim. Poor old fellow, that journey was but the preliminary to a Very much longer one which he had scarcely expected to take so soon. His garments Eis head, were suspended on hooks them above embroidered conspicuous belt which among had the I noticed so particularly words, A printed notice, with the “Unknown—Identification Be sired,” was atla hed to the clothes. Foor Erika, I thought, her heart will scarcely be made glad, as the old man attentively predict,*!.’ I wished I had listened more had mentioned to the tame his home. of the village I would he a* recognize aided, it if I heard it again, but un my memory could not recall it.
